Breaking Down: Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE:CUZ) has hit extreme technical weakness -- watch the stochastics and technical oscillators for any kind of momentum signals if you are looking for a turnaround.

The company has broken down to a one bull momentum rating -- that is extreme weakness and through technical support.

sharply lower, it has cut through technical support and the bears are leading the charge until the stock can find a bid.

The technical rating goes from a rating of one, the weakest upside technical, to a rating of five,
the highest upside technical. This is strictly focusing on price and technical -- that means we focus on real-time stock price movement and then position it relative to the simple moving averages. To make the technical rating meaningful, the moving averages are also compared to each other.

Technicals | Support: 8.31 | Resistance: 8.72

Death Cross Alert: The 50 day moving average is now below the 200 day moving average.
As we noted above -- the back of the envelope rule here is that when shorter-term moving averages move below the longer-term ones, momentum is weakening. We have that right now.

Swing Death Cross Alert: The short-term 10 day moving average is now below the 50 day moving average.
Recall that when we see the shortest-term moving average (10-day in this case) fall below any other moving average (50-day in this case), it indicates weakening momentum.

Cousins Properties Incorporated has a one bull (extreme weakness) technical rating because it's trading below the 10 day, 50 day and 200 day simple moving averages while the 10-day moving average is below the 50-day moving average and the 50-day moving average is below the 200-day moving average. The stock is down -1.18% on the day.
